JOHN E. TEAUTMANN, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.

A HORSE-COLLAR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 277,857, dated May 15, 188s.

I Application tiled June 9, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.- c

Be it known that I, J OHN F. TEAUTMANN, of the city of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented new and useful Improvementsin the Manufacture `of Horse-Uollars,of which the following is a specilication.

My `improvement consistsin acollarin which the fore-wale-piece laps havealap of the backing of the after Wale-piece secured between them, and the inner lap of the fore Wale-piece secured between the backing and an inturned lap of the facing, which projects in the same direction as the inner lap, a web being left between the fore wale and the after wale, as hereinafter set forth. v

In order that my invention may be fully un derstood, I will proceed to describe it with reference to the accompanying drawings, in whch- Figure l is an elevation of .my improved horse-collar, viewed from the inside. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on the line 2 2, Fig. l, looking down. Fig. 3 is a side view of the fore Wale-piece, showing a portion of the back- -ingof the after Wale-piece. Fig.4 is a similar View, showing a portion of the backing securedthereto. Fig. 5 is a transverse section on the line 5 5, Fig. 3. Fig. 6 is a transverse section on the line 6 6,Fig.4. Fig.7 is atransverse section, the stuffing and shoulder-piece being omitted. Fig. S shows in detail the mode of connecting the facing arrdbacking together.

A is the fore Wale-piece or rim, B the backing, G the facing ot' the after Wale-piece or body, and D the shoulder-piece, of any suitable material. The backing B has a lap, b, secured between the laps a and a of the fore Wale-piece by arow of stitching, e. The inner lap, a, is Secured between the inturned lap c ofthe facing C and the base b of the lap b of the backing by a row of stitching, e', the rows of stitching being aconsiderable distance apart to lprovide a broad web, E, for vthe llames. The backing B and facing C arejoined at their meeting edges by a row of stitching, e", as shown more clearly in Figs. 7 and S. To complete tbe formation of the collar it is stned, and then a shoulderpiece, D, is sewed on it' desired.

My im proved collaris easily constructed and strong. The outer lap, a', of the fore walepiece is the only lap exposed on the collar, and this is concealed by the application of the llames. It will be seen that the lapsay and b, forming the web, are the only connection between the fore Wale and the after Wale. By my mode of putting the coveringpieces together the rows of Stitching e and e pass through only three laps, as clearly shown in Figs. 5, (Land` 7.

Having thus described myinvention, the followingis what I claim as new therein and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

In a horse-collar, the combination of fore Wale-piece', A, having inner and outer laps,aa', a backing, B, having lap b, secured between said laps ofthefore wale-piece by a row of stitching, c, and a facing, C, having inturned lap c, secured to the inner lap' of the fore Wale-piece and to the backing by a row of stitching, c', providing a weh,E,bet-ween the fore Wale and after wale, as set forth.
